06 Negotiation

Teach reached out to take the Den-Den Mushi, his face wearing an expressionless demeanor.

Becoming a Shichibukai is a crucial step in his plan. Without it, he wouldn't be able to approach the underwater prison!

It was also a crucial location where he reached the pinnacle of his life!

"What are you up to?"

Gion looked at Teach's demeanor, always feeling a bit uneasy in her heart.

"As I mentioned before, we might become friends."

Teach smiled at Momousagi, and then he dialed the Den-Den Mushi number to contact Fleet Admiral Sengoku at Marine Headquarters.

"Puru, Puru, Puru, Puru ~"

The only sound on the warship was the Den-Den Mushi's ringing, and everyone held their breath.

"This is Marine Headquarters. What's wrong, Momousagi?"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku's voice came through the Den-Den Mushi.

"Zeehahahaha..."

Hearing Sengoku's voice, Teach burst out laughing.

"Huh? Who are you? Where is Vice Admiral Momousagi?!"

Sengoku's voice had noticeably changed and become more vigilant

"Hello, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you can call me Blackbeard!" Teach smiled.

"Blackbeard... who is it?"

Sengoku thought for a moment, but ultimately he had no impression of this name.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you have such a noble status but being a forgetful person. A few days ago, I had Laffitte sneak into Marine Headquarters and mention something to you during the Shichibukai Conference" 

Teach said again.

"Laffitte..... are you Teach!?" 

Sengoku pondered for a moment, and his voice grew more intense.

"Don't you want to become a Shichibukai? Is this your sincerity?!"

Sengoku's tone turned a bit cold, as if he was talking about Blackbeard attack on Momousagi..

"You've got it wrong. I'm the one who is the victim here. If I don't do something, I'll be the one suffering" 

Teach explained, glancing at Momousagi, who had a look in his eyes as if he wanted to devour him.

"Let them go now, otherwise you won't just miss out on becoming a Shichibukai, but the Admirals will also be sent to hunt you!" 

Sengoku's words carried a stern warning.

"The Admirals hunting? That's so scary, Sengoku-san," 

Teach said with a faint smile, then continued playfully: "I have prepared a big gift for your marines, don't you want it?

Sengoku thought for a moment before asking, "What kind of gift?"

"Fire Fist, Portgas D. Ace, the direct descendant of Roger, the Pirate King, is in my hand" 

Teach declared.

"!" 

As his words hung in the air, the scene fell into sudden silence.

Ace looked at Teach with wide eyes, a sense of disbelief written all over his face.

Momousagi and several Marine officers on the ship were utterly stunned!

Even the Blackbeard Pirates crew themselves looked horrified. 

The bloodline of Pirate King Roger still exists in the world!

Far away at the Marines headquarters, Sengoku's expression froze, and his eyes reflected a hint of disbelief.

"What?!" 

Garp on the side slammed the table heavily and stood up in a panic expression .

The Marines officer who just walked past outside the room was startled. What on earth happened to make the two Marines veterans, who had always been calm and playful, become like this?

"What do you say? Are you Interested? Zeehahaha!" 

Teach laughed heartily.

Whether it was the Marines headquarters and on the warship, the only sound cutting through the silence was his laughter.

Everyone has not yet recovered from the revelation

"I'm Whitebeard's son! And I only have one father, Whitebeard!" 

Ace glared at Teach with anger.

His expression of frustration only strengthened the belief among those around him that what Teach said was true!

"This is big news!" 

Burgess's eyes lit up with enthusiasm.

"Handing over the Pirate King's son to the Marines might be quite intresting" 

Laffitte said softly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"This is the moment that changed the world's destiny. The world is on the brink of change..." 

Doc Q said, smiling weakly on top of his sickly horse, Stronger.

"Fire Fist Ace is Roger's son, which is truly unbelievable" 

Van Augur spoke in his usual calm tone, as if he has no other expression available

"Gulp! "

The Marine officers present were left speechless, gulping to their throats tight with shock.

"Teach, I agree to the conditions you mentioned earlier!"

After a prolonged silence, the once silent Den-Den Mushi echoed with Sengoku's voice once more.

"Then, here's to a happy partnership!"

"Zeehahahaha. Since you've got a nice Marine warship, I'll consider it a return gift from you. I'll personally escort the ship to the Marines headquarters, albeit reluctantly."

"You wouldn't refuse, would you?" 

Teach chuckled through the Den-Den Mushi, imagining Sengoku's serious expression in his mind.

"No problem, but I expect Momousagi to come back without a scratch!"

"Then it's all up to how well she performs."

After Teach finished speaking, he disconnected the Den-Den Mushi. An undeniable ambition crept across his face.

Being a Shichibukai, he's destined to start shaping the world!

"Captain, are we heading to the Marines Headquarters too?" 

Asked Burgess in worried tone

"Of course, we have to go. We're allies with the Marines now" 

Teach responded confidently

"What if they attack us?" 

Burgess asked once more.

Teach didn't respond, but Laffitte took the initiative to speak.

"Idiot, we're just being Shichibukai now. Because of that, the Marines and others won't risk offending other Shichibukai for us. Otherwise, the world structure will undergo significant changes."

"I don't understand, but it's exciting to be able to go to the Marines Headquarters with such arrogance! Wieehahaha! ! "

Burgess laughed again, casting aside his previous concern.
